I think Sidun majored him because Rocklin was over aggressive against an opponent that took advantage of it. That was about a year ago though and Rocklin has jumped levels. I would love to see Zinkin beat Robinson. He looked outstanding against Drexel.

I just kinda feel it would be similar to Sidun major. Rock will stay aggressive and Robinson will take advantage of it. Rock is fast. But Robinson feels faster. I hope I am wrong and stupid to think that.

I do not have any legitimate inside information but I think it will be Spratley and not Zinkin who wrestles Robinson. We did not need Troy for the Drexel match but we do for the Nebraska match.

Idk tbh. I’m a little more curious to see what Zinkin could do against Robinson. I love Sprat and want him to start the rest of the season but We already know how he fairs against VRob. At worst Rock loses by decision which would probably happen with Sparkplug anyway.

You watch your language sir.

Zinkin doesn't have the experience Troy does, so it is a major instead of a pin.

I'm always curious about match strategy. Sprat will go all out against many opponents but gets cagey against Vrob. Is Vrob so good at countering that Sprat taking any shots is just flat out dangerous? What about enough fakes and half shots that Vrob gets a stall call or two and then has to come out of his defensive comfort zone?

Anyways folks know more than me, I just find it interesting to ponder the whys.

Winning the Nebraska dual isn't very high on David Taylor's priority list.

No offense, but that’s not an accurate statement.

If he’s playing checkers, his only priority is winning that checkers match.

He has said dozens of times that everything before the NCAA Tournament is an exhibition. He has described duals that way and the Big XII Tournament. That is also the correct mindset.

No argument there.

But you can’t prepare for March Wrestling like trash hoping it works out in March. I said checkers…not chess.

He cares, as should everyone else. Duals are for the fans and their engagement. If you think an egg is coming because it’s an exhibition, get your skillet out because those eggs are scrambled!
